video2dsprite

video2dsprite is a skill for Codex from gabrielmoreira/agent-skills-mirror. It costs 124 tokens per session (2,233 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of video2dsprite, MIT.

A workflow for turning a still image of a 2D character into animation sprite assets, which are individual images used to create game movement. It uses Grok Build's image and video tools, then extracts and processes video frames.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for video-sourced run, walk, or idle motion and denser game animation sprites. It only applies when Grok Build's required video tools are available.
Why use it?
It can produce more motion poses from a generated video than a single still image. It also prepares the frames as strips, grids, or GIFs for further use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

video2dsprite scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/video2dsprite.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Video2dsprite (Grok Build only)

Convert a base 2D character image into dense animation sprites using Grok Build's native video tools.

base still → image_to_video (in-place motion) → extract frames → chroma key → sample/normalize → strip / grid / GIF

Platform gate (read first)

Runtime Supported?
Grok Build (xAI) Yes — requires image_gen / image_edit + image_to_video (or reference_to_video)
Codex / Claude / other agents No — they lack Grok video tools. Tell the user this skill is Grok Build only and offer $generate2dsprite instead

If image_to_video is missing from the tool list, stop and explain. Do not fake motion with code-drawn frames.

This skill is an optional denser-motion path. It does not replace $generate2dsprite:

Use $generate2dsprite when… Use $video2dsprite when…
Crisp pixel sheets, fixed grids, identity-critical heroes User wants denser intermediate poses / smoother feeling loops
Attack/cast body sheets, prop packs, engine atlases Experimenting with video-sourced run/walk/idle motion
Production default for most game sprites User explicitly asks for video → frames → sprites

Video softens pixels, drifts identity, and leaves chroma fringes. Always QC; for production heroes, prefer $generate2dsprite unless the user wants the video look.

Parameters

Infer from the user request:

  • subject: character / creature description, or path to existing still
  • action: run | walk | idle | attack | custom motion phrase
  • view: usually side (side-scroller). topdown is harder — warn and keep camera locked
  • duration: 6 (default) or 10 seconds
  • frame_counts: which denser sets to export, default 8,16,24,48
  • cell_size: output sprite cell, default 128
  • anchor: feet (default for side locomotion) | center
  • bg: solid #FF00FF (required for chroma)
  • name: output slug
  • out_dir: working folder (default ./sprites/video2dsprite/<name>/ or project-relative)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
